Tea Party Patriots blame the GOP for losing because of "weak moderate candidate" Romney

Yes, this coming from Jenny Beth Martin, National Coordinator for the Tea Party patriots. She blamed the GOP establishment for chosing a "weak
moderate candidate" that is Romney:

The thing is, Jenny hasn't been awefully forthcoming on selecting the "right" candidate for the GOP instead she appears to have skirted the
question all election season. When Newt won the South Carolina primary she didn't seem to say much in her interview with Rachel maddow either:

"What we've seen in Florida and what we saw in our tel teleforum sunday night is that Mitt Romney, Santorum and Newt Gingrich all three are
embracing the values and the issues we've been talking about for the last 3 years"

The idea that the GOP lost because Romney wasn't the best candidate is ludicrous, he was the best candidate the GOP could come up with. The Tea
parties made up more than half of the GOP vote and they ultimately decided who was going to be the nominee, and Romney ended up being that
nominee. They voted for him during the 2012 elections, more than 80% of them did, so to blame the GOP on Romney's faliure to win the presidency is a
cop out, the Tea Parties have just as much to blame for that failure. Whether the Tea Parties will develop their own party? I doubt it, because they
know it won't go anywhere.

Nah. He wasn't the best candidate the GOP could come up with. He was just the biggest bitch to the corporate overlords. Instead we have a democrat who
is also a bitch to the corporate overlords. Oh well, po tate to, po tat o.

Ron Paul wanted to be a candidate...but was he? No....thats cause no one gave a # about him and pretty much ignored him on the MSM.

We as Americans, seriously need to start reading and looking for real news sources that aren't opinionated and twisted around. We also need leaders
who care about the citizens. When was the last time any leader gave such a heart warming speech that you cried? and let me add, after their term would
the same speech leave you nostalgic because the promises held true?

We've come to a point where truth no longer exists, people are told how and what to think, instead of discovering knowledge and wisdom for themselves.

Either way the GOP are a bunch of money groveling, P.O.S.'s. Who does not even deserve to pick up the glorious poop from my dog. They really need to
stop and reflect upon themselves....all of government does. Reflect on your actions and see your own ugliness

Even so, are the so called "tea partiers" , supported by ron paul? or are they jsut so hateful, the GOP doesn't want them either......Way to screw up
politics even more

I believe the "right" candidate was already shat upon by the GOP during the debates( despite the overwhelming support) and shut out, as he wouldn't
bow to their "masters". And instead represented the majority of Americans values whole heartedly.

If they weren't more concerned with pleasing corporations than "we the people" this wouldn't even be being discussed, instead Obama would be getting
to file unemployment.

Romney was the candidate the GOP party hacks running the thing these days decided had properly 'earned' his shot at the top job. Being the best has
little to do with it from anything I saw this cycle.

Of course Romney was a moderate...at best. I argued against him myself before he became the last one standing and so, the only choice. For the record,
he was quite high profile campaigning with Ted Kennedy. A role model for Progressive/Liberal world views. Romney was actually elected in one of the
bluest states the nation has...Mass, to be it's Governor. He even gave Ted Kennedy himself a run for his money for his own Senate seat in 1994
although they obviously made things up in the intervening years.

BOSTON — When Gov. Mitt Romney signed legislation in April 2006 requiring most Massachusetts residents to have health coverage, Senator Edward
M. Kennedy stood by his side, beaming like a proud father. They were onstage at historic Faneuil Hall in Boston, a setting that had a special
resonance for the
two.

^^ Hardly a conservative source of news ..to say the least. It's a fair assessment in my view though and again, why he was my dead last choice. I also
really feared people would go low enough to use the quirky nature of some aspects of the Mormon religion as a lever to attack him with, which by
extension, really did attack the Mormon Faith overall to some extent. That was sure one I wish I'd been wrong on. He was about the worst of the bunch
though. Although, I must say....Rick Perry did worry me more. Great guy to run Texas, I'm sure, but not the whole nation, IMO.

It's not quite the type of thing to mention before the election, when seeing him elected as the lesser of two disasters was the idea. Now though,
there's no point to sugar coating Mittens. He really never was anything like the best who could have been offered. Paul for one..... Allen West would
be another nice idea if he could have made a serious run. Just my two cents.

I think what frustrates me about it is that the loudest members of the GOP come to represent them in the media. But there are many intelligent, and
fiscally conservative, Americans out there who can't be heard through all the crazy.

Fiscal conservatism is going to be more and more important as time goes by - we need smart republicans

So while the population of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Non-Religious, Gays and other minorities keep growing, the tea party's solution is to bring forth
more candidates that are anti-immigrant, nativist, homophibic, religious zealots?

Let them! It will bring the demise of the GOP and the death of neo-conservatism even faster.

The problem with this post is you don't know the real definition of neo-con and where it came from, although as a socialist you really should know
that the term was originally coined by a socialist to denote one who left the LEFTIST ideology to become a non-leftist. In that realm, Wolfowitz,
Perle, and David Horowitz are the genuine neo-cons.

Do not make the mistake of relating all Republicans as neo-con or you risk showing yourself as uninformed.

20 years ago, Mitt Romney would have won this election by a landslide.

But we live in a different country, the economy is important to people but so are social issues.

Most of the Tea party was voted out of office and President Obama got 332 EV, as well as the popular vote.

And what does this tell you about the trend today? Does it not tell you that both women and men are too selfish to protect their unborn, people don't
care if we go off a cliff as long as they can get free contraceptives and federal funding for abortions, and gay marriage is more important than
saving the economy and getting people back to work.
